On September 22, 1958, in Brooklyn, New York, Elvis passionately discussed the origins of rock in a landmark interview. When a journalist dismissed rock as just a fleeting trend, Elvis boldly responded, "Rock and roll has been around for many years. It used to be called Rhythm and Blues, and it's been huge for as long as I can remember, though in the last 5 years, it's gotten bigger." Elvis, alongside icons like Bill Haley and Chuck Berry, turned rock into a global phenomenon, breaking records and reaching worldwide charts in ways no one had imagined. This song was not only on the US charts but also climbing the charts worldwide for the first time in history!
Elvis and his contemporaries elevated the rhythm of rock far beyond the traditional Rhythm and Blues, pioneered by artists like Sister Rosetta Tharpe, Big Joe Turner, and Louis Jordan. What they created was no longer just Rhythm and Bluesβit was Rock and Roll!
